6 week old Mixed breed?

[Caireann]

At 6 weeks, they have another moult or 2 to finish getting adult colors. There are a lot of options re: what sorts got mixed together to make this? Egg color when they lay can help, but knowing what breeds of roo and what breeds of hen (yes roo of breed A crossed with a hen of breed B can have a different look than a roo of breed B crossed with a hen of breed A) will help narrow the guessing field.

You've got some beauties

Thanks! I will see if I can find out what breeds the egg lady owns!

I've gotten hatchery's choice assortments and done the incubator hatches of my (and MIL's) mixed flocks. Knowing what possibilities there are definitely makes it easier. I've also gotten birds from hatcheries supposedly pure breeds that look like they're actually a mix.

this is supposedly a light Brahma, from a hatchery. I suspect she's actually a light Brahma x dark brahma, but don't know for certain (pardon the dirt, she reminds me of PigPen with her ability to find it). Your Opal reminds me of her markings, but Opal's straight comb and clean shanks eliminate brahma as an option. There are straight comb possibilities, but the brown feathers Opal is sporting tell me that my thoughts on those are not correct, yet.
